Every Chevrolet convertible since 1912

Wow ! What do you suppose this collection is worth ?

This collection belongs to Dennis Albaugh in Ankeny , Iowa , just north of Des Moines ....

The personal and private collection consists of 110 + Chevrolet convertibles...
All years from 1912 to 1975 and Corvette convertibles from 1953 to 1975.

That is a Chevy convertible
From every year of manufacture EXCEPT 1939...
The reason? - Chevy didn't make a convertible in '39 -- and ended its convertible line in '75!

His 'boy toys' include his own 18 hole golf course, copied somewhat after Augusta National.
He is what you call a REAL Chevy guy, but his passion seems to be convertibles !

This billionaire made his fortune selling farm chemicals !

My dad sent me this over the summer and for some reason it still suprises me that there were convertible lines, being born in '76 I always assumed they were just an option to standard coupe or sedan. But since so many models share the chasis and engine the difference in many models is merely in name.

Impressive! I wonder why he hasn't collected one of every convertible Chevy since then? (To this day.)

Hmm, he's in my neck of the woods. I wonder if he'd mind if I drop by?

Wow! What a collection! I wonder what its worth myself. Id drive a different one every day if I had a collection like that!

Wow, that's just crazy.

Do you have a link for this on the web? I'd love to send it to my dad.


The value on the collection is probably impossible to say, I bet nothing else like it exists. If they were each $100k it would be over 10 million, but I know some of those vettes are worth more than $100k, probably a lot of the other cars too if they're all original.
